GEMS13 — GEMS-XML hex_value length Issue

Open Closed All
  • Key: GEMS13-1
  • Legacy Issue Number: 16950
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Amergint Technologies ( Rob Andzik)
  • Summary:

    The GEMS-XML XSD bases the HexParameter on the xsd:hexBinary type. This type expects an even number of characters (two for each octet). The GEMS-XML specification should mention this and explain how it needs to be handled.

    Recommend always providing an even number of hex characters and using the bit length to specify the actual length.

    Example of an invalid 4 bit field: E/4

    Example of a valid 4 bit field: E0/4
